Thank you, everyone, for your commentary on the idea I mentioned last time about a format change. Many of you pointed out advantages of the full page format I had overlooked, or didn’t even realize I was utilizing. I have decided to stay the course with the current full page format, thank you for letting me bounce ideas off of your heads.

Wow. Why does Greg look evil in that last panel? Seriously, he looks like he’s about to start laughing maniacally. I mean, damn. 9% isn’t THAT good, even if the shoes cost $100 dollars that’s only $9 for him.

Ah Makokam, it must be nice to have “regular” feet that fit fine in inexpensive shoes. My feet are wide for their length and my instep is higher than most inexpensive shoes will fit comfortably. And I “pronate” when I walk (roll my foot) to the point of needing a slight correction. My walking shoes were about $125. My hiking boots were $175 – both on sale. I’ve known a few people who needed custom shoes – prices were astronomical in the 70’s ($150 back then), I’d hate to think what they’d be like now. So, yeah, you’re lucky … hope your feet stay “normal” 😉

I am in a similar boat. I wear size 15 shoes. Fortunately I’ve found a few places that worked well for me. But without that luck factor, I’m looking at 200 dollar shoes. Sure at 9% that’s only 18 bucks, but that’s not custom either. As an example, pro wrestlers boots cost at minimum 400 bucks if you want a good pair. That’s without any fancy designs and with a good company. So you figure, a little girl will want fancy, probably wheels, he’s going to shell out the cash.

Evil smile + little girl in “glass” slipper collection = OUCH! to the wallet. On top of that we have as others have mentioned. Large initial order with many repeat sales. Afterall, Selkie is still a growing child. And children go through WAY to many shoes. 😛

Not quite sure I understand Todd’s panic over the “Cinderella” collection – Plexiglass is not breakable (well, not EASILY breakable). Thought I guess it could be scratched badly … say by a hand with hard claws?

Ah…. I am beginning to wonder exactly what Todd does for a living that he could afford to shell out four or five hundred dollars on shoes…. I wish I had grown up with a parent who could do stuff like that. >.>;;
